Abstract

Local wisdom is one part of efforts to manage sustainable tourism. Almost every region has local wisdom preserved to maintain its potential. Sustainable tourism is a new concept commonly used by managers to balance economic aspects with the environmental and social aspects of society. One form of local wisdom in managing tourism is in the form of tradition. The Mandeh community has a tradition of managing the environment that has existed since time immemorial, but in the present time the tradition has begun to fade. Communities tend to exploit the environment to obtain economic benefits from the tourism sector, without considering the environmental and social sustainability of their communities. This research was conducted using qualitative data collection methods, data sources derived from interviews with community leaders and stakeholders related to tourism management. The fading of the tradition of preserving local wisdom can be overcome by re-raising the role of community leaders in managing tourism. Local wisdom in protecting the environment is re-appointed as a priority in the community, so that its sustainability is measurable and benefits the community.
